Kevin’s dad, Jerry, is a crook. And he taught his son every trick in the
book. Masters of identity theft, Kevin and Jerry move from one seedy
motel to another, always trying for the big score.

Colette is a runaway
who dreams of conning her way into the upper echelons of high society.
Just a teenager, she’s already a tough and talented grifter, and she soon
becomes Jerry’s girlfriend and accomplice.

When Jerry is arrested,
Colette makes Kevin her willing shill, dragging him along in her endless
pursuit of sophistication. Meanwhile, Kevin’s compulsive pursuit of new
cons, bolder hoaxes, and better forgeries leads them to violent and
unimagined retributions. When Jerry is released on parole, the three are
reunited for one final scam, a patchwork of old and new techniques that
should set them all up for life. The question is, would they rather
work together or show each other up?

Hot Plastic is a hugely satisfying
suspense novel about family and criminal intent from a fresh new voice.

“Fascinating, funny, beautifully written…Readers will find themselves drawn into the intriguing lives of this
delinquent outlaw family as they form and reform alliances and journey
along their crooked path toward a surprising finish.”

“A stylish romp, with characters witty enough to pick Scheherazade over
Anna Karenina as a role model and smart enough to avoid most oncoming
trains.”
